In just a few more days World AIDS Day 2010 will be celebrated in Winston-Salem, NC by The Power of TEENS, Inc!!
At Hoops for Awareness, our local fire and police departments will compete in friendly game of basketball. There will be free food/drinks, door prizes, a DJ and an MC, Praise dancers, a drum line! I can hardly wait!
This was all organized in less than 30 days. It has been a lot of work, but definitely worth it. This is a dream come true for me because I have wanted to bring something useful back to my community and what better way than sharing information with them about HIV&AIDS. So please stay tuned for pictures and an update on how much fun the event was.:-)
It's strange that a part of me wants to post something really encouraging today. I suppose the most exciting events for me today were in my two classes. I was very pleased to see that my classmates had included my advocacy work in a presentation that they did! People are listening...
And then a couple of hours later I had to do a persuasive speech. In that speech I worked to persuade my class to sign a petition to erect an organization on campus that keeps HIV&AIDS prevention on the forefront both on campus and throughout the surrounding community by using events like Hoops for Awareness.
So I did commemorate World AIDS Day today with about 30 other people who I have helped to understand how serious the epidemic has become in our community and around the world.
Peace & Blessings!
